Mark Dantonio in Pasadena on Jan. 1.
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio apparently had enough.
Kevin Flaherty of 247Sports reports that Dantonio hung up in the middle of an interview with FOX Sports Daybreak Wednesday morning.
The questions apparently drove him a little nuts.(Listen to the audio below)
At one point, Dantonio says:
'Well, you know we’ve been in the Top 10 the last three years. I don’t know. You do what you do. I mean you guys are the guys talking out there and you ask questions that sometimes don’t really make a lot of sense. At this point in time we just focus on the future and we’re primed to do great things here in 2016.”
Flaherty writes:
During an interview with Mike North and Andy Furman, Dantonio seemed frustrated with the line of questioning, which was somewhat understandable, given that he wasn’t truly asked about his program until the fifth question, and even when he does, it was a question that asked about 1) injuries and 2) who would start at quarterback.
Here are the basic questions, in order:
Has Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh gotten into your head a little bit?
Why was Connor Cook not named captain?
Do you eat pasta with Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo? (this was seriously a question)
Do you feel that you don’t get the respect nationally that you deserve?
Any injuries, and who is the new kid in town behind center?
